“You may doubt I found comfort in England, But, there, 'tis a refuge from dangers! Where a Cromwell dictated to Milton, Republicans ne'er can be strangers!”
The Refugee's Haven • VICTOR HUGO“It may be said, indeed, that without bones and muscles and the other parts of the body I cannot execute my purposes. But to say that I do as I do because of them, and that this is the way in which the mind acts, and not from the choice of the best, is a very careless and idle mode of speaking. I wonder that they cannot distinguish the cause from the condition, which the many, feeling about in the dark, are always mistaking and misnaming.”
The Trials Of Socrates • Plato“On the fates of past societies facing problems of sustainability.”
Collapse: How Societies Choose to Fail or Succeed • Jared Diamond“He began to seach among the infinite series of impressions which time had laid down, leaf upon leaf, fold upon fold softly, incessantly upon his brain; among scents, sounds; voices, harsh, hollow, sweet; and lights passing, and brooms tapping; and the wash and hush of the sea.”
To the Lighthouse • Virginia Woolf“I shall repeat a hundred times; we really ought to free ourselves from the seduction of words!”
Beyond Good and Evil • Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
